Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Does Economic Growth Drive Equitable Water and Sanitation Access? Assessing Inequality Reduction Across 64 Nations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines whether economic growth reduces inequalities in access to water and sanitation across 64 countries over an average period of 13.5 years. Drawing on disaggregated data by income quintiles and rural–urban location, and employing ordinary least squares (OLS), two‐stage least squares (2SLS), and Seemingly Unrelated Regression

Predicting Runtime in Spark‐Like Systems With Allocation‐Aware Deterministic Models

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Apache Spark is widely used for distributed data processing, but accurately predicting application execution time remains challenging because performance depends on application structure, resource configuration, and executor‐allocation behavior.

Extremes and fluid queues.

, 2006
In queueing theory, the main entity is a station where service is provided; examples include counters, call centers, elevators, and traffic lights. Customers seeking this service arrive at the system, where they wait if the service facility cannot immediately allocate the required amount of service. They depart after being served.

Quantum Machine Learning for Cybersecurity: A Taxonomy and Future Directions

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Context The rapid increase in cyber threats, coupled with increasingly sophisticated attack strategies and the exponential growth of data in recent years, has exposed significant limitations in classical machine learning, rule‐based, and signature‐based defense mechanisms.

Deploying Soft Operations Research Techniques in Hybrid Modelling: The Role of Qualitative System Dynamics in Sustainability Analysis

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organisations increasingly need modelling approaches that can support sustainable development decisions across economic, environmental and social dimensions. The triple bottom line (TBL) perspective provides a useful basis for such analysis, but it also introduces modelling challenges because the relevant dimensions are often interdependent ...

“Who Is Watching me?”: Recovering the Grammar of Stigma in Interaction

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
This article offers a praxeological respecification of stigma. I argue that the term “stigma” is a category term and glossing device, used to gather together and stand in for a diverse range of interactional experiences, including, but not limited to, degradation, discrediting, discrimination, marginalization, and being demeaned.

Size-Aware Dispatching to Fluid Queues

ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review
We develop a fluid-flow model for routing problems, where fluid consists of different size particles and the task is to route the incoming fluid to n parallel servers using the size information in order to minimize the mean latency. The problem corresponds to the dispatching problem of (discrete) jobs arriving according to a ...

What Is the Return on Investment of Digital Engineering for Complex Systems Development Schedules? Findings From a Mixed‐Methods Case Study on the Post‐Production Design Change Processes of Navy Assets

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Complex engineered systems routinely face schedule and cost overruns, along with poor post‐deployment performance. Both INCOSE and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) have championed Digital Engineering (DE) as a potential remedy, yet most of DE's purported benefits remain anecdotal, and its return on investment (ROI) remains poorly ...

Multi‐Vine Disease Prediction in a Field Test Spanning Whole Growth Season at Wine‐Industrial Site (McLaren Vale)

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.
Overall, the findings provide reliable evidence for block‐level disease early warning, inspection prioritisation, and spray decision‐making, helping to reduce unnecessary inputs, lower environmental burdens, and improve the resilience and sustainability of vineyard production systems.
